Ah, the holiday season! A time filled with love, laughter, family gatherings, and, of course, an avalanche of photos. From kids dressed in adorable outfits to couples rocking those ugly sweaters, every moment deserves to be captured. But let’s be real—this time of year can also mean juggling hosting duties, cleaning marathons, and the inevitable stress eating.

As moms, we’re expected to keep it all together, even when it feels like chaos is just a breath away. So, wouldn’t it be great if we had some Instagram filters to help us fake it ’til we make it? Here are twelve filters that could save the day:

  1. Refreshed
    This filter makes it seem like you didn’t wake up at the crack of dawn to prepare that turkey. Bye-bye, dark circles and puffiness—hello, fresh-faced glow!
  2. Myst
    Want to look like you just stepped out of a spa? This filter creates a dreamy, foggy effect, letting your complexion shine while keeping the chaos at bay.
  3. Fleek
    No time for a quick beauty routine? This filter fills in those pesky brows and tidies up stray hairs so you look effortlessly polished.
  4. Actual Early Bird
    This magical filter transforms your “resting mom face” into one that screams well-rested and cheerful, even if the truth is far less glamorous.
  5. Hybrid
    Capture the perfect family photo by merging images and eliminating the blurry kids or those who can’t seem to look at the camera. Finally, a picture worthy of those Christmas cards you keep meaning to send!
  6. Evergreen
    For those tree shots, this filter swaps out your half-decorated tree with a perfectly adorned one—thank you, little ones, for making ornament hanging a challenge!
  7. Slumbered
    This filter replaces your kids’ frowns with sweet smiles, making it look like they actually napped—ah, a mom can dream, right?
  8. Pinot
    This one’s for all the moms who just want to enjoy the chaos. It replaces your stressed-out expression with one of pure joy and laughter.
  9. Bubbly
    Capture those hilarious family moments with this filter, perfect for those candid shots of relatives dancing or singing a bit off-key. Just a heads up, you might regret it later!
  10. Pabst
    Hipster parents, rejoice! This filter adds quirky accessories like glasses and scarves to everyone in your photos, making every moment feel special.
  11. Clarity
    No need to hunt for a clean corner of the house anymore! This filter blurs out the messy background, letting your family shine.
  12. Poinsettia
    With this filter, your home will look decked out for the holidays without the hassle of decorating or crafting—just a little holiday magic!

Until these filters become a reality, we’ll just have to tackle holiday photos with a forced smile, a sprinkle of repressed feelings, and a glass (or two) of wine to help us cope with our extended family.
